The Premier League said it would write to Holt to ask if he wanted the organisation “to continue the support” it provides to his and other Football League clubs.

Holt was commenting in the wake of newspaper reports claiming Zlatan Ibrahimovic is paid over £350,000 per week by Manchester United, and that agent Mino Raiola pocketed £41million from the deal that brought Paul Pogba to Old Trafford.

Holt tweeted: “Hang your heads in shame @premierleague you are an absolute disgrace to English football.”

He continued: “... your largesse is ruining the pyramid and @England national team.... your largesse should be the focus of fans fury. You’re destroying the game, not ‘rogue’ owners.”

A Premier League spokesman said: “The Premier League supports all clubs in the EFL with solidarity payments and provides significant funding for their community projects and youth development schemes - all things that Accrington Stanley benefits from.

“It is only because of the interest in our competition and in Premier League clubs that we can support Accrington, the wider football pyramid, and communities and schools across the country.

“We will be writing to Mr Holt to ask him if he wishes for the Premier League to continue the support we currently provide for his and other clubs in the EFL.”
